Chapter 1104
Jowrin: What kind of ridiculous joke is that! Such jokes should be banned by imperial law!
‘I found it a little funny though.’
Lee Han thought it was fortunate that Jowrin wasn’t in front of him.
Lately, she had become strangely perceptive, so there was a possibility she might have caught on if he wasn’t careful.
Gonadaltes: More than that, Your Majesty. I have a question… If there’s a method, couldn’t the Principal just cast it on me directly? Why do I have to learn it?
Jowrin: Huh?
At the contractor’s point, Jowrin hesitated.
Huh?
That’s right?
Jowrin: …Th, there must be some reason! Probably…!
Gonadaltes: …
Lee Han made an indifferent expression.
Honestly, he didn’t think there would be much of a reason.
If there was a reason, it would be because he wanted to torment his disciple or wanted to teach his disciple additional magic!
‘It won’t make much difference anyway.’
Given the Skeleton Principal’s personality, even if he asked for the magic to be cast on him now, there was no way he’d agree. In the end, it was decided that Lee Han would learn it.
‘…Could it be that having Prince Uman here is actually advantageous for me??’
He hadn’t thought about this until now, but suddenly he found himself seriously considering it.
If he was the only one among the Einroguard students benefiting from Uman’s arrival…
When the contractor became quiet, Jowrin seemed anxious and called out with nervous handwriting.
Jowrin: Lee Han?
Gonadaltes: Ah. I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I was thinking about what kind of magic it might be.
Jowrin: As expected! Jowrin believed in you!
At her always reliable contractor’s answer, Jowrin brightened up.
Jowrin: Actually, Jowrin has been thinking about something too.
Gonadaltes: Oh. What is it, Your Majesty?
Jowrin: While you’re going to learn divination magic, why don’t you learn all of this semester’s magic at once!
Gonadaltes: …And then?
Jowrin: Then you do the same with transformation magic, learning all of this semester’s magic at once… If you finish everything like that, Uman will have time left over so he’ll definitely allow…
Lee Han quietly closed his book.
‘Hmm… I should seriously think about ways for Prince Uman to stay until next semester too.’

Walking toward the Heosu Hall to meet Professor Paselette, Lee Han spotted familiar upperclassmen and greeted them warmly.
“Good day. Senior Falkrious.”
“Uhahahaha. Wardanaz! Long time no see! Did you have a good vacation? Of course you didn’t!”
“?”
Lee Han was slightly taken aback by the novel greeting.
Was this a greeting method of the Plemang Order?
“Why do you think I didn’t have a good time?”
“Puhuh. I heard you were with the professors the whole time?”
“No…!”
Lee Han was dumbfounded.
What kind of rumor had spread that far?
“Where did you hear that… And just because I spent time with professors doesn’t necessarily mean it was an unhappy vacation.”
“Of course it was an unhappy vacation. What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
The club seniors looked at Lee Han as if he was being absurd.
Just as throwing a lump of mud into water creates muddy water, throwing a professor into a vacation creates an unhappy vacation.
This wasn’t a topic for debate. It was just an absolute truth.
“…So where are you all going? I heard everyone’s been complaining about the inspector lately, but is the cooking club okay?”
The inspector’s storm was sweeping across all of Einroguard, and the cooking club was no exception.
Especially given Uman’s personality, it didn’t seem like he’d leave students alone to make and sell food without permission.
“Ah! We’re actually doing well.”
“What??”
“His Majesty hired us. His Majesty’s trash…”
“Hey. Health food. Health food.”
“Sorry. Right, who would be making health food?”
“…”
Lee Han realized the truth and was impressed.
Indeed, the upperclassmen were not to be underestimated.
Like how an oak tree breaks in a storm but reeds survive, they were flexibly adapting to this situation.
When faced with the crisis of closing down, they immediately switched sides and got hired!
“Puhuh. Actually, just looking at the work, it’s more comfortable than before. His Majesty provides everything from ingredients onwards.”
“But the meals are quite an ordeal, aren’t they?”
Falkrious waved his hand as if asking what he was talking about.
“Puhuhuh. I personally experienced the Great Spirit Famine, Wardanaz. I eat anything gratefully.”
“Actually, only Senior Falkrious is like that, and it does taste bad for us. So we take care of ourselves while cooking.”
“!”
At the senior’s secretive words while looking around, Lee Han’s eyes widened.
Such a secret method?
“But with the dragon’s magic there, won’t the violation be discovered later?”
“Hehe. Actually, it’s all permitted behavior. We convinced them that checking the taste of ingredients is essential for proper cooking. Wardanaz, you should secretly come by when you have time and eat some too.”
Mages were always those accustomed to cheating the scales.
The cooking club seniors were cleverly using the rules to somehow fill their stomachs during the cooking process.
Grand cuisine was impossible, but it was much better than healthy meals.
“…Huh? Wait a minute. You’ve started work now, so why didn’t you call me?”
Lee Han was puzzled.
Come to think of it, he was also a member of the cooking club, and he prided himself on being a chef with considerable skill, so why hadn’t anyone called him?
At that question, the seniors looked at Lee Han as if it was strange.
“The inspector told us not to call you, didn’t you know?”
“What?”
“To be precise, he said to limit and call students who joined more than a certain number of clubs.”
“…I, I see. Thank you for letting me know.”
Who would have thought such consideration had been prepared even for clubs…!

Arriving at Heosu Hall, Lee Han was about to greet the golem senior wandering around in front when he was greatly surprised.
“Senior! Why have you become a rock golem!?”
The senior who had definitely been a bronze golem until last semester (sometimes changing to brass) had become a rock golem.
A mage from another school might have said ‘What’s the big fuss over such a trivial thing,’ but Lee Han was a student who had learned in the divination magic school.
Divination mages were those who read the future from even the most trivial differences.
The senior had already transformed into a golem to avoid misfortune, and now he was changing materials again.
Something must definitely be happening.
“The inspector said bronze was dangerous so I should change to rock.”
“…”
The golem senior’s voice was full of exhaustion.
Although it didn’t show in his expression since he was a golem, he was definitely tired because of the inspector. Lee Han quickly changed the subject.
“I came to see the professor. Is she inside?”
“Ah. You came to learn magic? Come in. I’ll teach you.”
“?”
Lee Han felt something off about the golem senior’s answer.
Huh?
‘Didn’t he say he left it to Professor Kraer?’
The Skeleton Principal definitely would have left it to Professor Paselette, so why was his senior teaching him?
“Is there perhaps some problem with the Professor?”
“Problem? Hmm… If I had to say, it is a problem. Well then. You’ll find out soon anyway. You know the Professor has multiple personalities, right?”
“Yes.”
“When news came that an inspector was coming, the Professor brought out a personality he doesn’t usually use.”
Professor Paselette, a banshee half-blood and excellent divination mage, dispersed the dangers of prophecy through personality splitting.
But there were downsides to this, one being that it was very troublesome for the students who had to deal with them.
Sometimes he was a normal person, sometimes he became extremely timid, and sometimes his temper became terrible…
“There were other personalities?”
“Of course. The personality that came out this time is the personality of the most excellent Archmage.”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised.
The personality of the most excellent Archmage. Just hearing the name sounded grand.
“With such a name, it seems like it wouldn’t be at an ordinary level…”
“That’s right. When the Professor is in this state, he displays prophecy at a completely different dimensional level.”
“But what does that have to do with him not being here now?”
If his level increased, wouldn’t he be able to teach even better?
Perhaps he went to get something else needed for magic?
“Hmm. You still don’t understand… Junior. Excellent prophecy is sometimes difficult to understand from the outside. You know this, right?”
“Yes? Yes.”
Lee Han agreed for now.
Certainly, when divination magic exceeded a certain level, it became difficult to understand from the outside.
When hearing a prophecy like ‘If you want to prevent the misfortune that will soon come, you must avoid all members of the Imperial Family,’ how could one know what this meant?
But what does that have to do with the current situation?
“The Professor thought he would become unlucky if he met with you, so he left it to me and ran away.”
“…”
Lee Han immediately became serious.
What on earth did that mean?
“What kind of…! That’s rude!”
“Why are you taking it out on me? The Professor is the one who ran away.”
The golem senior shook off stone dust as if feeling wronged.
The Professor in genius mode was already giving strange orders (like having ivy vines thickly cover the outside of the void tower or filling up the Lake of Uncertainty prepared for lectures), which was annoying enough!
“I’m, I’m sorry. It was such an absurd slander that I got angry for a moment.”
‘It doesn’t seem completely wrong though.’
The golem senior thought to himself.
This junior certainly had a talent for attracting dangerous individuals.
Just last semester, hadn’t he been walking around with not only the Principal’s Insane Doppelganger but even a Dragon?
It was understandable that Professor Paselette, with his very sensitive senses, felt danger and took refuge.
“Where is the Professor? Since it’s the Principal’s order, let me tell him to come back quickly. I’ll prove that it’s a mistaken prophecy.”
Overwhelmed by his junior’s enthusiastic appearance, the golem senior slowly answered.
“Give up. I don’t know about other things, but once an excellent divination mage decides to run away, finding them is almost impossible. And I can teach you instead of the teaching…”
“Isn’t Senior’s time precious too!? We must find the Professor!”
Lee Han jumped up and down. The golem senior was slightly moved by this sight.
Though there were many scary rumors about him, he certainly wasn’t a bad guy.
“Enough. Give up. Now. Let’s see what the Professor left for us to handle.”
The golem senior unrolled the scroll that Professor Paselette had left behind.
What kind of magic could he have entrusted them with?
‘Star divination series maybe? No. He wouldn’t have recommended star divination in a season like this. Lake divination? Or it might be a more active magic. Voices of ancestors… is a 5th circle magic, so it would be too difficult for a 2nd year to learn. No wait. He didn’t care about such things.’
Pop!
Please teach student Lee Han of Wardanaz Family 【Refuge to the Shadow Fortress】.
P.S.:
Never call me, search for my location, or report to the inspector.
Paselette Kraer
“…No! Are you insane?!”
The golem senior cried out in shock.
A much more difficult magic than expected had appeared.
Teach this to a 2nd year??
“Why would he want me to teach this? It’s not like you need to escape from the surveillance of some evil dragon!”
“!”
Lee Han hesitated.
His senior was sharper than he had thought.
“Senior. Actually, though it’s not through conventional methods, I have been practicing the 【Refuge to the Shadow Fortress】 magic.”
This was a piece he had drawn when receiving sheet music for music magic before.
Unlike other music magic, he hadn’t mastered it yet, but he had been practicing it steadily.
“Ah. Really?”
“Yes. So if you could give me some guidance…”
“Alright, alright. Wait a moment.”
The golem senior told Lee Han to wait a moment, then tried to sneak out of the room.
At that moment, Lee Han immediately grabbed the rock that served as his senior’s hand.
“…Senior. You’re not trying to dump this on another senior and run away, are you?”
“You…! What magic did you use to prophesy that!”
